00:06:13.540sure he's staring for some reason but he doesn't fight with other bears i guess that's common for
00:06:19.680other bears to fight with each other and so he's very peaceful loves to eat however if you happen
00:06:27.200to be in this park and you see backpack he is not that peaceful and not that gentle in alaska
00:06:32.640yeah do not approach jim courtney don't approach approach with with the god no i'm kidding no
00:06:39.580I was telling Marcella, I could be the next backpack with the way I ate yesterday. Do you
00:06:47.260guys ever just have that day where you go off the rails? I mean, like Marcella, do you ever
00:06:53.580go off the rails or are you super disciplined? Have I ever not gone off the rails? That's my
00:06:59.380problem. Yeah. Like what's your secret, you guys, what's your thing? Like if you're like, okay,
00:07:04.260forget it. It's all going to hell today and I'm eating whatever I want. Like, what are you going
00:07:08.600for. And I'll tell you, or I'll confess first. Here's everything I ate yesterday. Wait, I started
00:07:15.140with something that wasn't too, oh, I had a banana. I had a banana. Then I had two huge bowls of
00:07:23.140Captain Crunch Berries. Okay. Sugar. Then I had a cheese stick. I thought I was getting protein.
00:07:31.040So I had a cheese stick. Then I had, at some point I had a hard boiled egg. Then I had two
00:07:38.060miniature kit kats from like the halloween candy stash okay so i had yeah they're small they're
00:07:44.920small they were like the fun size then i was like uh-oh i better counterbalance that with another
00:07:50.480hard-boiled egg and then i had oh a regular size reese's peanut butter cup thing like two
00:08:00.420Reese's cups. And then I thought, Oh my God, what have I done today? I better eat some low
00:08:08.980fat cottage cheese. That was this morning. No, last night. Oh, last night. I felt like the
00:08:16.660protein would wash out the sugar. How am I doing? Yeah. What's your go-to Marcella? If you can have
00:08:23.720like a cheat day? I don't know. I think like if I could have a cheat day, I would do lots of Thai
00:08:32.100food. Oh, noodles. Lots of noodles. Yeah. I love my favorite food is Korean food. So like a big
00:08:40.080Korean barbecue day, but I don't know how that, but allegedly kimchi, kimchi is really good for

00:10:11.380about. It's all the chemicals they add to it, I think. Yeah. I'm sorry to say. Well, I went off
00:10:17.040the rails, but anyway. Okay, you guys. So listen, I want to give a shout out to Mike Rowe and you
00:10:24.800know, friend of the show, Mike Rowe. We love him. He's always rooting for the worker, the American
00:10:32.560worker and industry and everything else for you marcella so listen to this this is so exciting
00:10:39.980ready well here's something you don't see every day that's me in a suit and tie 15 years ago
00:10:46.460testifying before congress about the need for a national effort to reinvigorate the skilled
00:10:52.320trades how about that hair huh well it took a while but 15 years later the feds got back to me
00:10:58.340And today it's my privilege to announce buildfreedom.us.
00:11:03.580This is a brand new website filled with hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six-figure jobs in the defense industrial base.
00:11:11.800I'm talking about truly essential jobs, building the next generation of fighter jets and nuclear submarines and autonomous weapons and so forth.
00:11:22.200And so is the $10 million donation Build Freedom gave me so I can give you the scholarships you need to get the training required to land one of these AI-proof six-figure jobs.
00:19:57.500So we found close to $250 billion in fraud just since I've been leading the anti-fraud task force.
00:20:02.740And one of the things that is genuinely shocking to me about this work is how many of the programs that we have that are meant to be generous to our fellow Americans have no real eligibility criteria.
00:20:12.220In other words, whatever it says in the law, like, for example, to receive food stamp benefits, you have to be a certain income, you have to be, you know, a certain family situation, et cetera.
00:20:22.740There are these eligibility standards, but we don't enforce them, or at least the states that administer the programs don't enforce them at all.
00:20:29.800And so, you know, like a very basic thing, you have to be an American citizen to benefit from the Medicare program.
00:20:35.460I think that's a pretty common sense thing.1.00
00:20:36.800We don't want to give health care to literally everybody, including people who have been here in the country illegally.0.99
00:20:43.340And yet, because we don't check eligibility sufficiently, we were giving billions and billions of dollars to both to people receiving benefits who weren't entitled to receive them,1.00
00:20:55.660to phantom people who didn't even exist, and then to phantom businesses who were billing for services they weren't providing to people who didn't actually exist.
00:21:03.160and there was just so much of this stuff and frankly there probably is still so much of this
00:21:07.100stuff i really do believe that we've just started to scratch the surface here uh your your people
00:21:11.760dr oz um and and your deputy secretary you've been amazing amazing at working with us on this
00:21:18.560but there's just so much fraud out there marcella i'm loving this i mean why haven't we done this
00:21:26.740before. Yeah. Well, I know why we haven't done this before because the certain party was
00:21:34.600benefiting follow the money. Right. But the issue with this is like, I think Scott hit on it
00:21:41.480allegedly. Um, I think Scott hit on it when he was talking about, and I keep thinking of this
00:21:48.460is that the deficit, it might just be all fraud or a lot of the is fraud, you know, um,
00:21:56.740We have many people taking advantage, Americans and foreign people.
00:22:03.560I think one of the things Sternevich was saying is to go to Monaco, which I'm thinking of, and record all these supercars, like Ferraris and all that, that have Ukrainian plates or Ukrainian owners.
00:22:19.540um there's so much there's so much fraud and yet middle america um it's like there's no money you
00:22:28.080know it's like diesel is so expensive this and that it's like i'm glad that the the administration
00:22:33.640is uh hitting at fraud and it is so hard to prosecute too uh because it's hard to get to
00:22:43.320that level legally to get that you know the evidence to prove that but at the same time it's
00:22:51.060it's wonderful that they're getting and the enforcement event gets other people not to
00:22:57.880commit the fraud because they're scared of getting caught so it's good yeah it's really good and it's
00:23:04.180like it just boils your blood when you think about we gave all that money to ukraine we're like here
00:23:10.460launder it have fun with it take it uh see you later um you know and and like you see people
00:23:17.840like randy weingarten going over to ukraine you're like um what are you what are you doing
00:23:22.520like you're the uh what is she called the school what's her fake thing what's she called randy
00:23:29.900weingarten that's so funny i forget her title uh school chair of president oh i forget what it's
00:23:36.060i can't rock it someone will write it in the chat i don't know why i blanked on that but she's like
00:23:41.500the head of the oh the uh union teachers union oh my god okay there we go um they did buy our
00:23:48.620weapons eric a nice deal right yeah teacher union loon is right so like why is she going to ukraine
00:23:54.700she's just another political well she wants her supercar obviously or her robot or drone
00:24:01.660super hairdresser um all right so you know what it's it's good we're finding fraud everywhere i
00:24:08.460happen to believe nick shirley kicked this off and he showed how easy it was to do so it's like look
00:24:13.980you know you don't need to be a rocket scientist just follow the money like everyone says follow
00:24:18.460the money and i i agree that i think our deficit is fraud i mean remember the pentagon lost billions
00:24:25.420of dollars. Oh, where'd it go? Just, that's it. That's just billions gone. That's it. Where'd it
00:24:31.800go? And we're done. Okay. Moving along. So listen, let's get happy with Scott, you guys, because
00:24:37.760Marcella also has to give us news on some things that happened. So let's get into it. If you've
00:24:43.300seen this before, take it in again, because you can never hear it enough. And I felt like this
00:24:49.400was the whiteboard we needed today. So let's kick back for about 18, 19 minutes. Have your coffee
00:24:56.460and we'll see you in a bit. There's not much news today. So that's the news. I wanted to teach you
00:25:03.880how to be happy. I've spent my life trying to turn into a formula, how to be happy. And I did
00:25:13.880that in my book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. But I'm going to give you the
00:25:18.320the quicker synopsis for those who don't know how to be happy. And as obvious as this will be to
00:25:26.880some of you, for many of you, this will be the first time you've ever seen it explained this way.
00:25:33.060Let me explain happiness. So happiness here is at the top. That's your goal. We'd all like to be
00:25:39.300happy. In order to be happy, there are three chemicals in your body and your brain that need
00:25:46.120to be at the right level. Now, I'm going to grossly oversimplify the chemical nature of
00:25:52.980human beings. There are certainly lots more than three chemicals involved in keeping you happy.
00:25:59.180But as a general statement, if these three are where they need to be, you're probably going to
00:26:06.400be happy unless there's some terrible problem in your life that is unsolvable. So did I spell
00:26:14.920serotonin wrong? I may have spelled it wrong. Tell me if I spelled that wrong. Anyway, so
00:26:27.560these chemicals can be boosted through lifestyle. If you don't know that, you don't understand how
00:26:35.460happiness works. Most people that I talk to are under the mistaken impression that happiness is
00:26:42.520something you can think your way into. In other words, if you put some happy thoughts in your head
00:26:48.420or you don't have any problems, there's somehow a mental process. Your happiness is not a mental
00:26:57.760process. If you think it is, you can't help yourself. You're going to be lost forever.
00:27:04.140So whether you have a mental problem that keeps you low in these things, which is typical,
00:27:09.640you know, depression, anxiety, OCD, there are a number of mental conditions which are at least
00:27:16.960associated with lower levels of these things. If you treat happiness as a physical process,
00:27:25.200the end result of which is you feel happy, then you have a mechanism to do something about it.
00:27:31.020If you think it's a mental process, there's nothing you can do about it. You are a victim
00:27:36.180of your environment. But if you understand that you can do things in your life that will boost
00:27:43.820these chemicals, and then these chemicals in turn will make you feel good, then you have a mechanism.
00:27:50.400And for each of these things, let me explain these things. So oxytocin is the chemical that makes you
00:27:56.200feel connected to people, makes you feel in love, makes you feel bonded. And that's mostly from
00:28:01.640social interaction, especially touch. You can get it from sex, hugging. I think you can get it for
00:28:08.520your pets, playing with your cat or your dog, and you can get it from a massage. Yeah, and children
00:28:16.800can get it from their parents, from touch. But these other things, dopamine and serotonin,
00:28:23.880are sort of lifestyle related. And if you get a system for all of this stuff,
00:28:29.540the system for your diet and exercise and sleep, you're going to have a lot more of it.
00:28:35.880How many people do you know who believe they're unhappy, but all they're doing is they're doing
00:28:41.860this stuff wrong? They're doing the lifestyle stuff wrong, and they think, hey, I'm unhappy.
00:28:48.580There's something wrong with the way I'm thinking. There's something wrong with my brain.
00:28:52.540Probably not. There's probably, and when I say probably, I'm going to say 80% of the time.
00:28:58.500For 80% of you, the feeling of not being happy or fulfilled,
00:29:03.500all of those feelings are because you don't have a system in place
00:29:07.500to work toward improving these over time.
00:29:10.640So for diet, for example, I talk about this in my book,
00:29:15.940How to Failed Almost Everything and Still Win Big.
00:29:18.680It should be a lifelong process of learning about diet
00:29:22.920and experimenting with what works for you.
00:29:25.600In my case, if I eat too many bad carbs, if I eat too many bad carbs, I'm unhappy every freaking time, every time.
00:29:39.260If I have a burrito for lunch, the rest of the day, I'm not happy because my energy will crash, and I can't be happy when I have a sugar crash.
00:29:50.280So learn about diet by making it a lifelong system to chip away at it and experiment.
00:43:09.660Now, I hear every day from people who say their life was completely transformed by thinking of their life in terms of systems versus goals.
00:43:20.780The goal would be to be happy, but how?
00:45:38.480All right, you guys. Drop a happy emoji of any sort in the chat if you just needed that and
00:45:47.480love that whiteboard. It's just, as we say, evergreen. So that was so great. What did we
00:45:53.780say? Two hoes and a rake. You got it, Freebird. It's Freebird's description of us today. Thank1.00
00:46:01.660you, Freebird. Love you. Rip it. All right, you guys. So that was amazing. And can I just tell
00:46:07.640you, first of all, how funny it was when he said cheat day, like don't have a cheat day. I'm like,
00:46:13.360oh my God. Don't have a cheat day. I know. We were just talking about it. We were just talking
00:46:19.420about it and how I always, like this morning when I said I was so happy. So I was like feeding the
00:46:25.380kitties and then I was like feeding the birds and I opened this slider and I was like, oh my God,
00:46:31.120it smells so fresh out in the sun. And I could hear the birds and I'm like walking around my
00:46:35.640kitchen. I'm like, it's so good. All the sounds, the smell, the air, like I was hitting all those
00:46:41.740things that Scott said you need to hit for happiness. And it just felt so good. And one
00:46:46.620other thing, uh, Terry, Terry on YouTube, girl, you work fast. So she wanted to, uh, memorialize
00:46:53.740my cheat day. Here it is. Uh, this is everything I ate yesterday. Well, your cheesesteak is,
00:47:02.900Oh yeah. Is that your cheese stick? Yep. She's got my cheese stick. I don't drink milk that I'll
00:47:08.100say, but yep. I was bathing in it pretty much. She has everything. Cool. Thank you, Terry.
00:47:13.640I know the cottage cheese. Okay. So anyway, Marcella, I mean, amazing lesson, right? Did
00:47:19.780you love it? It's so good. Yeah. But I would break all his rules sometimes. So I, I'm a shame,
00:47:25.520you know, but I actually think like a system versus goal is always better. I think he's right
00:47:31.620on all these things diet exercise sleep happiness is a physical process but it's subjective sometimes
00:47:40.740so me not sleeping in on saturday and staying up and doing things like it makes me happy
00:47:49.620so i know he didn't like that but um also like what it's like uh watching certain films that
00:47:58.660but weren't all happy like ramble first blood is my favorite film um so you know it's like
00:48:06.820certain things bring you happiness like vigilante movies for me so it's it's up to you but you do
00:48:13.900pay attention to your diet your exercise your sleep and yeah stay away from toxic people
00:48:21.060and i allegedly stay away from stress sure no problem i'm gonna do that right now here we go
00:48:28.780oh and what do you do to to get happy oh boy um sometimes i do something that scott didn't seem
00:48:37.340to want to do which is listen to like happy songs certain songs that'll make me feel better
00:48:41.760uh there are certain prince songs that always put me in a certain mood there's what i call my happy
00:48:46.440song which is like i think katrina and the waves has one of those songs that i talked about before
00:48:51.880um but i think a lot of the things would be the ones scott called out i mean i i think
00:48:58.380to me this is a great example of describing a system rather than a goal like if you just say
00:49:04.180i want to be happy you're not going to necessarily even know what to do or how to get there and it's
00:49:08.600not going to work but if you have a system like this where you can say okay here are the things
00:49:12.960Here are the things I need to do if I want to be happy. And if I focus on those things, number one, you have a little more control, but you also just have a plan of action and things that you can do to make that happen. And I think it was very valid principles across the board. I think he hit most of the big boxes that I would have on my system.
00:49:30.700But I would add something that would be along the lines of what you said, Marcella, that everybody's different.
00:49:36.620And, you know, he mentioned it in a couple of cases, like if you're an introvert, it looks a little different depending on your, you know, for social contacts, stuff like that.
00:49:43.780But I think that's probably true of a lot of these things.
00:49:46.040Like some people need more sleep than others.
00:49:48.060Some people handle stress better than others.
00:49:50.680And, you know, some people might get a lot more value out of some of those things than others and need more or less or different versions of them.
00:49:58.760but I think overall it's probably a good universal template to start with but I would encourage
00:50:05.180everyone to say find out what works for you like don't just say okay I'm going to do exactly what
00:50:09.800Scott said you know just like some of it might not work for you some other things might work
00:50:15.400better for you and feel free to change the system just like he said with the reframes like he wants
00:50:19.820to teach us how to make systems not just pick one that was delivered to you so yeah I think it's a
00:50:26.100great starting point but i would say that like it happiness is a very personal formula in my mind
00:50:31.860where what makes me happy might look a lot different than what makes you happy and if we
00:50:36.160did exactly the same things we might end up with a very different outcome visit bet mdm casino and

00:51:50.560and they're just like, you're like on a constant acid trip. Like you notice every freaking thing,
00:51:56.160like every smell, every sound, every whatever. And, but so many of those things make me so happy.
00:52:01.700So I'm always like, and I'm always asking everyone, don't you love that? Like I always
00:52:05.400say to Marcella, I'm saying a story. I'm like, don't you love that Marcella? Like I want everyone
00:52:09.360to like love. Yeah, sure. You're like, yeah, no, Erica, do you not know me yet? So I just feel
00:52:16.240like for me, I take notice of the things that I guess people aren't noticing. And I really want
00:52:22.720those little things to make me happy or, you know, give them a chance. Um, you know, sometimes
00:52:28.660even when they say stop and smell the flowers, I'm serious, you guys stop and smell the flowers.
00:52:32.800I will stop and smell every flower. If like I'm on my way somewhere, I'm like, Oh, I wonder if
00:52:37.060that flower smells good. And I'll give it a sniff or I'm like, look how that thing grew so much
00:52:41.120overnight, like just notice the things. And then I ponder them and I'm like, that's amazing. It's
00:52:46.960crazy how nature works or this, you know, I I'm that person. I know I'm just, I love watching my
00:52:52.560garden grow and you know, whatever. But, and then also I love, I think it's so important where Scott
00:52:59.020said, is it hard to get toxic people out of your life? You know, do I feel bad about it? And he
00:53:04.240said a little, but I, it's not worse than I feel when I'm with that person. And it's okay to shuffle
00:53:10.880people out of your life you guys because honestly if there is someone that just zaps you or makes0.75
00:53:16.380you feel like shit and if there's someone that like if you didn't know them today but you knew
00:53:22.440what they were like and you met them on the street and you were like okay i'm meeting this person for0.99
00:53:26.340the first time and i know how this is going to go would you allow them in your life and if you
00:53:30.520wouldn't then consider just distancing yourself from them even if you can't cut them out altogether
00:53:36.360maybe make your time with them down to like a couple of minutes on the phone, a quick, you know,
00:53:42.480Hey, how you doing? Um, but you don't have to allow anybody in your life, even if it's your
00:53:46.920family. I know a lot of people think no family's family. No, listen, toxic is toxic and nobody has
00:53:54.000a right to zap you or bring you down or make you feel sick. I mean, I've had people in my life. I
00:54:00.100actually feel sick around them. They're not in my life anymore. I can't do it. So protect yourself
00:54:06.580for your happiness and don't feel bad about putting yourself first. It's not like selfish
00:54:12.360or obnoxious. It's like self-preservation sometimes. So Scott would give you permission to
00:54:18.460put yourself first and like he said, be really generous with the social time you have with
00:54:25.040people. Give to them what you want them to give to you. Go ahead, Owen.
00:54:30.100Well, I was just going to add on top of that, that in some situations you might find like, you know, everything I'm doing isn't working. And I think that might apply to some toxic relationships. Like if you are in a situation where you just can't completely cut the person out of your life because they're family, workers, your boss, whatever, you might be stuck for a while, but you should work to change the situation.
00:54:49.620And, but even within the situation, there might be an approach that just doesn't come
00:54:54.720And so ask for help, you know, like whether it's a therapist or a close, confident friend
00:55:00.920or somebody just look, look for other perspectives that you might not have.
00:55:04.600Cause I think a lot of the time, especially men probably, but a lot of people I think,
00:55:08.400think, Oh, I should just be able to handle it.
00:55:09.780I should just suck it up and deal with it.
00:55:11.200And I think in many cases, if you just asked for that help or, or ask what ideas would
00:55:17.500you do? Or how would you handle this situation? You may end up with a solution that you not would
00:55:21.380have thought of on your own. And that has certainly happened to me. Yeah. I love when
00:55:24.980people ask me for help because I want to help people. So sometimes people are like, no, I'm
00:55:30.120not going to say anything. I'm not going to ask. And I'm like, why? Like, don't you love when
00:55:33.020someone says, can you help me? And you can, that's like the best feeling. Marcella, Marcella,
00:55:38.000you are such a brat. I'm like, no, I don't like people asking for help because then they don't0.90
00:55:44.440pay me um oh legal legal help they're always like oh and i'm like oh it's 450 an hour and they're
00:55:51.420like what never mind wait sometimes i would say that includes paying someone to help you i mean
00:55:58.460you know i mentioned a therapist and other things like i'm not necessarily saying only only do it if
00:56:04.120it's for free it's just like there often is help out there for the problems you have whatever they
00:56:10.500are. There are solutions for a lot of things and they're coming up with new ones all the time for
00:56:15.100medical things and even psychological things. And so, you know, whatever it is, there might be a
00:56:20.680solution out there for you. Don't just give up and say, I'm stuck with this bad situation.
00:56:25.760Right. Exactly. You know, one thing is go outside, you know, touch, you know, grass,
00:56:34.060the trees do things like that I think nature is very healing no matter what makes you happy
00:56:40.700um I personally don't like the sun but I could go out during the half mid-afternoon or night
00:56:48.000after you know into midnight but um you know it makes me happy to have fresh air have you know
00:56:56.420everything else I think it really does improve some everybody's the way that you feel unless
00:57:02.880you're allergic then stay inside i guess i have a sycamore tree in my yard and we planted it years
00:57:10.080and years ago it's like the perfect tree to hug you guys are dying over me today but i wrap my
00:57:16.160arms around it and i put my cheek on his trunk and i hug it my arms don't go all the way around but
00:57:21.600i'm like i love you sycamore tree and then i try to like send it like love up the trunk and i'm like
00:57:27.520here take some good love like i swear to god and i am not like a birkenstock wearing granola girl
00:57:33.760but i'm just like i just do you name it did you name the tree i didn't no but i do have trees
00:57:40.320named in my yard after people that have passed away that i planted in their memory yeah i have
00:57:44.960vinnie victor judy bob and uh jeff yep so i do plant trees yes let's hug a tree it feels so
00:57:54.160good to hug a tree you guys i am a literal tree hugger crank shows us she's showing a tree i think
00:58:02.520it might have been hander huberman or somebody like that that said like you what you really
00:58:06.320want to do is get out early in the morning if you can and see the sun in your eyes like let it hit
00:58:12.040the i think the top of your eyes um for just a couple minutes like it doesn't take long
00:58:16.760but just i think it's kind of it sets your circadian rhythm properly and then if possible
00:58:22.200You could also do it at the end of the day and it'll do the opposite, you know, in terms of helping you go to sleep when the sun's coming down.
00:58:27.900But I think in terms of at least mental and overall like health, I think that might be the best.
00:58:34.060And then outside of that, of course, there's the vitamin D and all the other stuff.
00:58:37.040So you want to get a certain amount of sunlight if you can.
00:58:39.860But it doesn't necessarily have to be like sunbathing for two hours in the middle of the day or something.
00:58:44.220Marcella goes out there like a vampire.0.84
00:58:51.600like i literally have physical reactions to the sun if it's too much and i live in california
00:58:56.580which is sunny all the time oh my goodness i know um can you do okay so let me ask you this
00:59:04.400is just random but he he was scott was talking about burritos and eating a burrito and how it
00:59:09.920makes him really unhappy and i was like that's not how i feel when i eat a burrito but that's
00:59:16.700much money are your burritos huh are you having the 20 burrito or are you maybe having like the
00:59:22.540two everything's 20 in california but yeah the the the expensive one of course what do you like
00:59:29.760in your burrito marcella um carne asada carne asada oh yum yep oh and are you burrito protein
00:59:38.200yeah i mean a traditional mexican you know like the i guess what you might expect from a place
00:59:45.760like Chipotle or any, any Mexican restaurant. Um, yeah, I, I'm a fan. I mean, I've probably
00:59:52.680done more of the bowl sorts of things when I go to Chipotle now, just cause I like to be lower
00:59:56.680carb if I can, although I'm certainly not a monk about it. I have, you know, various carb like
01:00:02.640things in there, but I think, um, you know, I just, when I can avoid the bread, I just do.
01:00:08.200You guys listen, the first time I ever went to Chipotle, just so you know, that is,
01:00:12.580that's not a burrito that's like a birth baby like they handed me that burrito i was like what
01:00:18.120the hell is this it was like like a loaf i was like oh my god it's crazy so you just had a baby
01:00:25.980i was like this thing like my friend handed it to me like wrapped in that foil thing and i was like
01:00:31.420this is a burrito i'm like i feel like i'm holding like a newborn baby it was so gross but
01:00:36.120but it is good tasty so tasty jv's being naughty again but i'll mention why all right i'll read
01:00:42.500later and then we'll punish him. Um, all right, you guys, I am so happy today. Nobody is ruining
01:00:49.980it. Okay. All good news all day. That's all I'm asking for. And, uh, Oh, and I'm so glad you could
01:00:56.300join us tomorrow. The three of us return. We are going to have to catch up on news. We've got so
01:01:02.780much to talk about and we're going to probably be rapid fire tomorrow. Owen and Marcella are going
01:01:08.060to teach me the news tomorrow. I love rapid fire news day. And of course I will have clips because
01:01:13.880God forbid, I don't, I can't help myself. Um, Oh my God. Alien. You're disgusting. Um, you guys.
01:01:22.660Oh, by the way, let me just let you know. I, Oh, I have a letter from Chester, by the way,
01:01:29.520that I will read to you tomorrow. Yes. Um, you guys, Chester has managed to drop the links in
01:01:36.940the show notes for you guys. So if you want to grab your Dilbert calendar, the wall calendar
01:01:43.680you see back there, if you want to get your coffee with Scott Adams official mug, the
01:01:49.600simultaneous swaddle blanket, the links are all in the show notes for you. So you can
01:01:54.740grab them. And I love everybody posting their pictures, getting their calendars. It's so
01:01:59.900fun. And what else did I want to tell you guys? There was one more housekeeping thing.
01:02:05.620Oh, if you liked any part of today, if it was Scott's whiteboard that did it for you, hit the thumbs up, hit the little notification bell so you don't miss us.
01:07:01.000Because I was complaining about stuff all the time
01:07:03.060Now, I was not aware that I was a bit complaining. I had no idea. I thought I was a person who talked about my day and the funny parts of this. So in my mind, I had no idea that I was having an effect on other people. Once I learned that, do you know how powerful that was? I was able because it was something I could change. I would become aware of the ratio of negative things I said to positive coaching. It was probably the most important change I've ever made to my social toolbox.
01:07:30.700I would say that that one change really, really changed my life.
01:08:00.700that's the that's the refrain so the next time you get criticized whether personally
01:08:20.820or whether professionally say to yourself
